Re: About balsa keyboard shorcuts

[Ragnar Henriksen <ragnar juniks org>]

Why not just send it? :)

Stuart is doing some major "redesign" at the moment. so i guess we all are just waiting for him to finnish that up.

When that is done, he is going to look at the patches delivered the past weeks. So why just mail it in, and I'm sure he will look at it :)
